Peter Marshall, a multifaceted entertainer renowned for his role as the host of the long-running celebrity game show "Hollywood Squares," passed away on August 15 at his home in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles. He was 98 years old.

According to a statement from his family, shared by publicist Harlan Boll, the cause of death was kidney failure.

Marshall, who was tall, charismatic, and known for his radiant smile, had a varied career as a band singer, Broadway actor, and straight man in comedy duos before becoming the inaugural host of "The Hollywood Squares" in 1966. (The show was initially titled "The Hollywood Squares," with the definite article later dropped.)

For the next 15 years, he hosted more than 5,000 episodes of the lively game show, which was based on the children’s game of tic-tac-toe. In the show, celebrities provided answers to questions, often sprinkled with humor and occasionally risqué remarks. "Hollywood Squares" became a highly-rated daytime television staple on NBC and later expanded into a popular prime-time version, maintaining the same format.

"It was the easiest thing I have ever done in show business," Marshall reflected in a 2010 interview with the Archives of American Television. "No rehearsal. I walked in and said, ‘Hello, stars,’ read questions, laughed, and got paid wonderfully well."

At the start of each episode, Marshall introduced two contestants who selected celebrities to answer questions on topics ranging from entertainment and history to science and current events. The contestants then determined whether the responses were accurate, with winners earning cash and other prizes.

Marshall expertly kept the show moving at a lively pace. True to his roots as a comedy straight man, he skillfully set up the humorous quips delivered by the nine celebrities positioned before him.

Many stars graced the panel of "Hollywood Squares," including comedians Joan Rivers and Jonathan Winters, and actors Helen Hayes, Glenn Ford, and George C. Scott. However, the audience favorite was comic actor Paul Lynde, who occupied the center square on the three-tiered set.

"He was the star of the show," Marshall later admitted. "I was just a humble emcee."
